Rae and I had an absolutely marvelous time while Trevor and Otto were at the cabin. Before she was born I was so worried about this trip thinking that having a newborn by myself would be really difficult (as it seemed when I was alone with Otto as a wee one). But holy cow, I felt like I was on a spa vacation. I had the most relaxing weekend. Why did I ever think newborns were hard? One baby is a cake-walk! I will say that she is an amazing sleeper so I guess that was one factor making watching Otto as a newborn harder but having a newborn with the stress of not knowing what you are doing makes the task of parenting seem overwhelming. Now that it is old hat having a new baby is a breeze. Anyway, we lived up every moment. We went shopping about 5 times, we walked the resevoir a few times, I went to a party on the 4th of July, we met friends for coffee. I just strapped Rae in the bjorn or put her in the stroller and took off. It was seriously wonderful. Also, I am always so worried that Otto is not playing outside enough or getting enough attention or I'm focused on why he is saying no all the time and not happy and with him gone at the cabin those worries were gone. I knew he was having the time of his life. Anyway our week was truly lovely...just not long enough. HA! The attached photos are of Otto at the cabin fixing Julie's golf cart and Rae being held by Cathy (Ali's mom) at the Chateau Marmont during one of our ladies who lunch outings.
